Re: It's running again. Big block with swap headers and 3 inch dynomax race bullets

hydralic cam 550 lift 290 something duration. I checked the oil pressure since this video i even drove the car the other night. it has 70 psi oil pressure. in the video the motor had run for maybe 20 seconds from being put back in. i have to say the race bullets are louder than i thought they would be.
this time around with the car i changed out the oil pan, put a shift kit in the th350, relocated the oil sending unit. added the swap headers, built the 3 inch exhaust, added a trans cooler. all of this started off as a easy header swap but the headers wouldn't work with my oil pan and one thing led to another.

Re: It's running again. Big block with swap headers and 3 inch dynomax race bullets

Years ago when I was using the Hooker Header swap headers, I was using 3" bullet mufflers. I never liked them. My Ed Quay headers use a 4" slip on collector. I installed some 4" Magnaflow race mufflers (the larger oval ones). They have zero restrictions for the flow. No baffles, no louvers etc inside to stop the flow. They're quiet enough that I can hear the engine, tire squeal etc while going down the track. I've had a lot of people tell me that the car sounds great going down the track.

The only disadvantage is the 45 pounds of exhaust system after the collectors.

Same here.
Other vid says " Private Video " & doesn't play.

Maybe it's an ISP thing?
